Yeah, I get you on the books thing.

Dogs are really just big, goofy cats, so totally acceptable.

What’s your view on how the UK armed forces stack up against others in Europe, in particular Russia?

Yep. AI has made managers think they can be more efficient by using it, whereas what they’re really discovering is that large organisations hire badly and not in line with their actual needs for work to get done. So you can cut the fat and still work fine.

Until you cut fat from understaffed areas.

Have you got a higher resolution source for this? It’s fascinating.

I speak reasonable Brazilian Portuguese and read some Spanish. My late mother’s synagogue texts contain Ladino/Judeo Espanyol. That text feels like dialling directly into 1492. Fabulous stuff.
